Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/222

I want to draw the app directly after previous shell prompt like below:

$ ./app
  > item
  > item
  > item

how to keep the output of the shell?

@rivo commented on GitHub (Jan 12, 2019):

I don't think this is possible. To my knowledge, tcell (which tview uses) will only use the entire screen and tcell.Screen.Init() will clear it before drawing anything.

You may head over to tcell to ask if there is any way to limit it to a partial screen. (I don't know of any.)

Let me know if this answers your question.
